Hi Chester,

   Well, basically it has come unhinged. The ligament that holds it straight has slipped of to the side so my lower leg and foot are not facing forward but off at a 45% angle - I trip and stumble some because of this - its also a wee bit painful becasue the bone grates on the bone. That's was what finally drove me to having the surgery in Dec 2005  - wasn't bad surgery - I walked out on crutches with help from my boychild - it also didn't work for any length of time.
